WARSAW, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Polish Deputy Treasury Minister Rafal Baniak on Wednesday said the ministry was aiming to obtain PLN 5 billion (about 1.6 billion U.S. dollars) through privatization of companies wholly or partly owned by the state.
According to local media reports, Baniak told the Senate's National Economy Committee that the treasury has already signed 15 contracts for the sale of equity this year, with most of the receipts generated through the stock exchange.
The treasury is seeking to sell some 180 companies in total.
In an attachment to the plan, the treasury also specified 47 companies in financial, energy, defence and seaport sectors that it wanted to keep under control.
